I watch this show from time to time. I find the pranks that the kids think of very interesting but they are not very good actors and there are only a few very good episodes. I would suggest only watching this show when there is nothing else on or you are very bored because you won't be totally bored while watching this show. You probably wouldn't want to watch an episode more than once because you already know what is going to happen. The best part of the show is seeing the result of the prank and the reactions of the people being pranked. Overall, I give this show a six out of ten. I would recommend this show for kids 12 and under because my sister is 11 and still enjoys this show. I will watch it with her from time to time but i wouldn't recommend it for someone like me because i don't watch TV very often and this isn't one of those really good shows.

Just right... For Kids!

When I sat down on the couch parked in front of the television in the living room, I surfed through the channels and came upon a show called Prank Patrol. I started tuning in to their transmissions more and more frequently and have come to a few conclusions.
This show is intriguing for children, but I find it a bit too obvious that every single prank in there is staged in some way, and that all of the kids in that show are actors - actors with questionable talent at best.
It follows the same outline every show. Introduction; show host thinks of a 'brilliant' prank; preparations are made; prank occurs; pranksters revealed; and then the reactions of the 'victims' are recorded in an interview-style clip. The show gets extremely tedious after a couple of episodes, but I'm sure kids enjoy seeing the different ways one can prank another.
So take it from me, if you've got young kids, this show's appropriate for them, but if you've got any kid older than 11-12 years of age, you won't find them tuning in to this show any more than once or twice. Willingly.
This show will give young children something to watch, but for everyone else, this show will give them something to walk away from.

Good show

This show is very entertaining. I love how creative they get with the pranks. Andy is funny sometimes. The kids are really good actors and they seem to really play their parts well and should get into acting. The pranks aren't stupid like; whoopee cushions, prank phone calls, they actually involve work and they are pretty realistic. I could get fooled by one of them. The only thing that bugs me is that sometimes during the scary pranks, the kids laugh or smile when they are screaming. I would suggest for them to take different shots of them not laughing.
This show is tons of fun and I love watching it and I think you will too. It is really good. Enjoy it.
